[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 223624, member: 5993"] We've done Cenote diving in the Yucatán several trips. The nice thing there is the water in crystal clear but pretty darned cold. You can see forever with your dive light but don’t get sidetracked. Stay with the dive guide who carries an extra tank and regulator in case yours takes the afternoon off and near the line they’ve laid throughout those underground rivers so you know how to get back should anything bad happen. First time we did cavern diving the dive guide and his buddy drove my wife and I way back in the jungle,stopped by a little water hole, maybe 10 Feet across then told us to get ready. READY? We wondered if they were going to mug us!., Thought he was kidding till some air bubbles came out of this hole followed by a couple of divers. Great dive though. We ultimately surfaced in a cavern filled with big bats hanging from the roof with the cavern filled with colorful stalagmites and stalactites. Never forget that one! First of many. yucatan diving is easy compared to what they have to do in Thailand, though. Muddy water, navigate by feel through a few miles of jagged rock passages! Not for me. For tourists, a lot of dive places sink old ships for dive sites, and with some you can come up in partly flooded rooms inside the hull. I always think of what it must be like for poor sailors trapped in a cold sunken ship slowly running out of air knowing they cant be saved. Horrible! [/QUOTE]
